Environmental management system
We are continuously working to improve our ISO 14001 (*1) based environmental management systems and to promote Group-wide environmental management.
- (*1) ISO 14001 : Environmental management systems (EMS) standard determined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Certification is granted to environmentally conscious organizations that develop systems for ongoing reductions in their environmental footprint.
Fujitsu Group’s EMS
Fujitsu Group has constructed EMS based on the ISO 14001 international standard and is promoting environmental improvement activities across the Group. After acquiring ISO 14001 certification for consolidated subsidiaries in Japan at the end of FY 2004, we expanded this effort to include overseas subsidiaries and acquired global integrated certification at the end of FY 2005. Subsequently, the overseas subsidiaries switched to individual certification.
Environmental Management Framework
In April 2020, Fujitsu Group established the Sustainability Management Committee, which plays a role in leading the Group’s sustainability-driven management initiatives. This committee identifies and addresses key global sustainability issues under the Global Responsible Business (GRB) framework, one of which is the environment.
In order to enhance our Group’s EMS as well as to strengthen governance, each relevant organization (including each business unit, division and group company) within Fujitsu Group that is responsible for advancing environmental initiatives, examines medium- to long-term issues and formulates policies.
In addition, they share climate-related business risks and opportunities, consider appropriate response measures, and report regularly to the Sustainability Management Committee. Based on these reports, final approvals and decisions on environmental management within the Fujitsu Group are made by the Management Council. For each specific issue, there are designated environmental organizations in charge that are composed of relevant parties that go beyond the framework of business groups and business units. This structure, shown in the diagram below, enables us to swiftly disseminate and integrate our environmental initiatives across the Group.
Activity flow
The Sustainability Management Committee deliberates on matters related to the environmental initiatives that impact the entire Fujitsu Group which are reported regularly by the environmental promotion units across the group. The reports cover the progress of environmental initiatives, their status towards achieving targets, and updates on new activities. The committee will then determine the mid- to long-term issues in overall environmental management—such as reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and responding to environmental risks. It also approves the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan. The designated organizations for each environmental issue (e.g., energy, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water) address those matters professionally, following a defined implementation process. They identify areas for improvement based on various performance data, propose and promote relevant targets for the Environmental Action Plan, and monitor the progress towards those targets. Upon receiving progress reports from these designated organizations, the Environmental Management Controller reviews and approves the current status and the suggested future direction of the initiatives. In turn, the Group Environmental Management Representative instructs all relevant organizations to take actions on implementing the necessary initiatives.
To further disseminate these initiatives and improve skills, we continually provide environmental training/education and briefing sessions on topics such as climate change (including energy consumption reduction), resources (including water) and waste.
Management based on the Business Line/Site Matrix Structure
The Fujitsu Group carries out its environmental management within a matrix structure combining (1) “business line activities” directly tied to the business operations of various Business Groups and companies (including development of eco-friendly products and the expansion of environmental contribution solutions) and (2) “business site activities” to tackle common themes affecting each factory or business location (such as energy conservation and waste reduction). In this way we carry our environmental management according to the same framework as our management, while also reducing the environmental footprint generated by our business activities and the sale of our products and services.
